Damn, I beat the first final boss on my first attempt with this mod.
I couldnt even reach the mountain before after 12 hours.
The base game is so unfair in an unfun way.

I played a dozen hours without this mod as a new player.
I almost uninstalled, I didnt like it.

This mod makes me actually like the game.
Thanks for doing this.

Does it become to easy with all the QoL changes?

Liking this overhaul so far. Nice QoL changes, new items, new trophies and side quests .

I also like how you get Trophies from alternative bosses so you don't necessarily need to conquer Lairs.

Boss stews are also nice, giving incentive to hunt more than 1 boss down, but I wish the new boss Trophies can also be turned into stews, such as the Collector and Shambler ones. I hoarded them only to realise I could not make them into stews at the inn.

One gripe I have is the final upgrade of certain heroes. Hellion giving Speed to herself or team at 5% chance can potentially mess up certain team composition playstyles. For example, you want Jester to go first to apply combo, but the Speed kicks in and your Hellion goes first instead. Maybe change this to another effect like damage increase. This also applies to PD's disease removal, sometimes you want diseases and suddenly curing ruins disease synergies.

This mod sounds great but when i see all these partialy gamebreaking issues with no fix for weeks ... its a pass for me. Maybe in the future...

This mod seem to be preventing progression of the Beast Clan quest in Kingdoms mode. The quest reward for defeating a certain Creature Den(required for progression) was replaced with some sort of map
